PREFACE The following are the Special Terms and Conditions (STC) for the Florida Managed Medical Assistance Program (MMA) section 1115(a) demonstration (hereinafter demonstration ) to enable Florida to operate the demonstration. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has granted waivers of requirements under section 1902(a) of the Social Security Act ( the Act ), and expenditure authorities authorizing federal matching of demonstration costs not otherwise matchable (CNOM) under section 1903 of the Act, which are separately enumerated. The parties to this agreement are the Agency for Health Care Administration (Florida) and CMS. The STCs set forth in detail the nature, character, and extent of federal involvement in the demonstration and the state s obligations to CMS during the life of the demonstration. All previously approved STCs, waivers, and expenditure authorities are superseded by the those set forth below and in the foregoing waivers and expenditure authorities. The effective date of the demonstration amendment is no earlier than the amendment approval date through June 30, 2022. These STCs have been arranged into the following subject areas: I. Preface II.

Schedule of State Deliverables Attachment A: Attachment B: Attachment C: Comprehensive Program Description Developing the Evaluation Design Preparing the Evaluation Report II. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES Florida s current 1115 demonstration allows the state to operate a capitated Medicaid managed care program. Under the demonstration, most Medicaid-eligibles are required to enroll in one of the managed care plans contracted with the State. Several populations may also voluntarily enroll in managed care through the MMA program. Applicants for Medicaid are given the opportunity to select a managed care plan prior to receiving a Florida Medicaid eligibility determination. If they do not choose a plan, they are auto-assigned into a managed care plan upon an affirmative eligibility determination and subsequently provided with information about their choice of plans with the auto-assignment. Managed care plans are able to provide customized benefits to their members that differ from, but are not less than, the state plan benefits and participating Medicaid-eligibles have access to Healthy Behaviors Programs that provide incentives for healthy behaviors. The demonstration also establishes a Low Income Pool (LIP) to ensure continuing support for the safety net providers that furnish uncompensated care (UC) to the Medicaid, uninsured, and underinsured populations. 1 The renewal allows the state to continue operating the MMA program while increasing the LIP to $1.5 billion annually. The renewal also removes historical information about implementation of the MMA program from the STCs and modifies the frequency of state-reported demonstration activities based on the long-standing nature of the demonstration, the consistency in its operations, and the lack of significant issues or corrective actions needed. All reporting modifications continue to provide CMS and the public with the information necessary to effectively monitor and evaluate the MMA demonstration. Under the demonstration, Florida seeks to continue building on the following objectives: Improving outcomes through care coordination, patient engagement in their own health care, and maintaining fiscal responsibility. The demonstration seeks to improve care for Medicaid beneficiaries by providing care through nationally accredited managed care plans with broad networks, expansive benefits packages, top quality scores, and high rate of customer satisfaction. The state will provide oversight focused on improving access and increasing quality of care. Improving program performance, particularly improved scores on nationally recognized quality measures (such as Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set [HEDIS] 1 For the Comprehensive Program Description and Objectives, see Attachment B. Florida Managed Medical Assistance Demonstration Page 4 of 69

scores), through expanding key components of the Medicaid managed care program statewide and competitively procuring plans on a regional basis to stabilize plan participation and enhance continuity of care. A key objective of improved program performance is to increase patient satisfaction. Improving access to coordinated care by enrolling all Medicaid enrollees in managed care except those specifically exempted. Increasing access to, stabilizing, and strengthening providers that serve uninsured, lowincome populations in the state by targeting LIP funding to reimburse UC costs for services provided to low-income uninsured patients at hospitals and federally qualified health care centers (FQHC) and rural health clinics (RHC) that are furnished through charity care programs that adhere to the Healthcare Financial Management Association (HFMA) principles. 2 III. GENERAL PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS 1. Compliance with Federal Non-Discrimination Statutes. The state must comply with all applicable federal statutes relating to non-discrimination. These include, but are not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975. 2. Compliance with Medicaid Law, Regulation, and Policy. All requirements of the Medicaid Program expressed in law, regulation, and policy statement, not expressly waived or identified as not applicable in the waiver and expenditure authority documents (of which these terms and conditions are part), apply to this demonstration. 3. Changes in Medicaid Law, Regulation, and Policy. The state must, within the timeframes specified in law, regulation, or policy statement, come into compliance with any changes in federal law, regulation, or policy affecting the Medicaid program that occur during this demonstration approval period, unless the provision being changed is expressly waived or identified as not applicable. In addition, CMS reserves the right to amend the STCs as needed to reflect such changes and/or changes of an operational nature without requiring the state to submit an amendment to the demonstration under STCs 6 and 7. CMS will notify the state within 30 days of the expected approval date of the amended STCs to allow the state to provide comment. Changes will be considered in force upon issuance of the approval letter by CMS. The state must accept the changes in writing. 4. Impact on Demonstration of Changes in Federal Law, Regulation and Policy. a. To the extent that a change in federal law, regulation, or policy requires either a reduction or an increase in federal financial participation (FFP) for expenditures made under this demonstration, the state must adopt, subject to CMS approval, a modified budget neutrality (BN) agreement for the demonstration as necessary to comply with such 2 Available at http://www.hfma.org/workarea/downloadasset.aspx?id=14589 Florida Managed Medical Assistance Demonstration Page 5 of 69

change. The modified agreement will be effective upon implementation of the change. The trend rates for the BN agreement are not subject to change under STC 90. b. If mandated changes in the federal law, regulation, or policy require state legislation, the changes must take effect on the day such state legislation becomes effective, or on the last day such legislation was required to be in effect under the law. 5. State Plan Amendments. The state will not be required to submit a title XIX state plan amendment for changes affecting any populations made eligible solely through the demonstration. If a population eligible through the Medicaid state plan is affected by a change to the demonstration, a conforming amendment to the state plan may be required, except as otherwise noted in these STCs. In all such cases, the Medicaid state plan governs. 6. Changes Subject to the Demonstration Amendment Process. Changes related to demonstration features, such as, eligibility, enrollment, benefits, enrollee rights, delivery systems, cost-sharing, evaluation design, LIP, sources of non-federal share of funding, BN, and other comparable program and budget elements must be submitted to CMS as amendments to the demonstration. All amendment requests are subject to approval at the discretion of the Secretary of Health and Human Services ( Secretary ) in accordance with section 1115 of the Act. The state must not implement changes to these elements without prior approval by CMS. Amendments to the demonstration are not retroactive and FFP will not be available for changes to the demonstration that have not been approved through the amendment process set forth in STC 7 below. 7. Amendment Process. Requests to amend the demonstration must be submitted to CMS in writing for approval no later than 120 days prior to the planned date of implementation of the change and may not be implemented until approved. CMS reserves the right to deny or delay approval of a demonstration amendment based on non-compliance with the STCs, including but not limited to failure by the state to submit required reports and other deliverables according to the deadlines specified therein. Amendment requests must include, but are not limited to, the following: a) A detailed description of the amendment, including impact on beneficiaries, with sufficient supporting documentation; b) A data analysis which identifies the specific with waiver impact of the proposed amendment on the current budget neutrality agreement. Such analysis must include current total computable with waiver and without waiver status on both a summary and detailed level through the current approval period using the most recent actual expenditures, as well as summary and detailed projections of the change in the with waiver expenditure total as a result of the proposed amendment, which isolates (by Eligibility Group) the impact of the amendment; c) An explanation of the public process used by the state consistent with the requirements of STC 15; and, Florida Managed Medical Assistance Demonstration Page 6 of 69

Upon enrollment, individuals will receive information on their managed care plan assignment or selection and information about all plans in their area. Individuals may actively select a plan or change their plan selection during a 120-day change/disenrollmentperiod without cause post-enrollment. All individuals will be provided with information regarding their rights to change plans. Once the plan selection is registered and takes effect, the plan must communicate to the enrollee, in accordance with 42 CFR 438.10, the benefits covered under the plan, and how to access those benefits. 24. Auto-Enrollment Criteria. Each enrollee must have an opportunity to select a managed care plan before or upon being determined eligible for Medicaid. Individuals must be provided information to encourage an active selection electronically or in print. Enrollees who fail to choose a plan by the time their eligibility is determined will be auto-assigned to a Florida Managed Medical Assistance Demonstration Page 15 of 69

managed care plan. At a minimum, the state must use the criteria listed below when assigning an enrollee to a managed care plan. When more than one managed care plan meets the assignment criteria, the state will make enrollee assignments consecutively by family unit. The criteria include but are not limited to: a. Whether the plan has sufficient provider network capacity, including dental network capacity, to meet the needs of the enrollee; b. Whether the recipient has previously received services from one of the plan s primary care providers; c. Whether primary care providers in one plan are more geographically accessible to the recipient's residence than those in other plans. 25. Auto Enrollment for Special Populations. For an enrollee who is also a recipient of Supplemental Security Income (SSI), prior to auto-assigning the SSI beneficiary to a managed care plan, the state must determine whether the SSI beneficiary has an ongoing relationship with a provider or managed care plan; and if so, the state must assign the SSI recipient to that managed care plan whenever feasible. Those SSI recipients who do not have such a provider relationship must be assigned to a managed care plan using the assignment criteria previously outlined. In addition, the state must use the following parameters when auto-assigning recipients who are members of the indicated special populations to a plan. a. To promote alignment between Medicaid and Medicare, each beneficiary who is enrolled with a Medicare Advantage Organization, must first be assigned to any MMA plan in the beneficiary s region that is operated by the same parent organization as the beneficiary s Medicare Advantage Organization. If there is no match of parent organization or plan within the organization, then the beneficiary should be assigned as in sub-stcs 24 above. b. If an applicable specialty plan is available, as described in STC 39, the recipient should be assigned to the specialty plan. c. Newborns of eligible mothers enrolled in a plan at the time of the child s birth will be automatically enrolled in that plan, unless it is a specialty plan; however, the mother may choose another plan for the newborn within 120 days after the child s birth. d. Foster care children will be assigned/re-assigned to the same plan to which the child was most recently assigned in the last 12 months, if applicable. 26. Lock-In/Disenrollment. Once a mandatory enrollee has selected or been assigned an MMA plan, the enrollee shall be enrolled for a total of 12 months, until the next open enrollment period, unless the individual is determined ineligible for Medicaid. The 12 month period includes a 120-day period to change or voluntarily disenroll from a plan without cause and select another plan. If an individual chooses to remain in a plan past 120 days, the individual will be permitted no further changes in enrollment until the next open enrollment period, except for cause. Good cause reasons for disenrollment from a plan are defined in Rule 59- Florida Managed Medical Assistance Demonstration Page 16 of 69

G-8.600, Florida Administrative Code. Voluntary enrollees may disenroll from the plan at any time and enroll in another managed care plan or receive their services through Florida FFS Medicaid. The choice counselor or state will record the plan change/disenrollment reason for all recipients who request such a change. The state or the state s designee will be responsible for processing all enrollments and disenrollments. 27. Re-enrollment. In instances of a temporary loss of Medicaid eligibility, which the state is defining as 6 months or less, the state will re-enroll demonstration enrollees in the same managed care plan they were enrolled in prior to the temporary loss of eligibility unless enrollment into the entity has been suspended due to plan requested or Agency-imposed enrollment freeze. The individual will have the same change/disenrollment period without cause as upon initial enrollment. VII. BENEFIT PACKAGES AND PLANS IN THE MMA PROGRAM 28. Customized Benefit Packages. MMA plans have the flexibility to provide customized benefit packages for demonstration enrollees as long as the benefit package meets certain minimum standards described in this STC, and actuarial benefit equivalency requirements and benefit sufficiency requirements described in STCs 29 through 33, in accordance with section 409.973 F.S. For other plans, customized benefit packages must include all state plan services otherwise available under the state plan for pregnant women and children including all EPSDT services for children under age 21. The customized benefit packages must include all mandatory services specified in the state plan for all populations. The amount, duration and scope of optional services, may vary to reflect the needs of the plan s target population as defined by the plan and approved by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA). These plans can also offer additional services and benefits not available under the state plan. The plans contracted with the state shall not have service limits more restrictive than authorized in the state plan for children under the age of 21, pregnant women, and emergency services. Policies for determining medical necessity for children covered under the EPSDT benefit must be consistent with Federal statute at 1905(r) of the Act in authorizing vision, dental, hearing services, and other necessary health care, diagnostic services, treatment and other measures described in 1905(a) of the Act to correct or ameliorate defects and physical and mental illnesses and conditions discovered by screening services, whether or not such services are covered in the state plan. 29. Overall Standards for Customized Benefit Packages. All benefit packages must be priorapproved by the state and CMS and must be at least actuarially equivalent to the services provided to the target population under the current state plan benefit package. In addition, the plan s customized benefit package must meet a sufficiency test to ensure that it is sufficient to meet the medical needs of the target population. Consistent with 42 CFR 438.3, customized benefit packages, as analyzed through the Plan Evaluation Tool (PET) discussed Florida Managed Medical Assistance Demonstration Page 17 of 69

below, must be submitted to CMS for approval as part of the standard CMS contract review process. 30. Plan Evaluation Tool. The state will utilize a Plan Evaluation Tool (PET) to determine if a plan that is applying for, or has been awarded, an MMA plan contract meets state requirements. The PET measures actuarial equivalency and sufficiency. Specifically, the PET: (1) compares the value of the level of benefits (actuarial equivalency) in the proposed package to the value of the current state plan package for the average member of the population; and (2) ensures the sufficiency of benefits consistent with 42 CFR 438.210(a)(3) and STC 32. The state will evaluate service utilization on an annual basis and use this information to update the PET to ensure that actuarial equivalence calculations and sufficiency thresholds reflect current utilization levels. 31. Plan Evaluation Tool: Actuarial Equivalency. Actuarial equivalence is evaluated at the target-population level and is measured based on that population s historical utilization of services for current Medicaid state plan services. This process ensures that the expected claim cost levels of all managed care plans are equal (using a common benchmark reimbursement structure) to the level of the historic FFS plan for the target population and its historic levels of utilization. The state uses this as the first threshold to evaluate the customized benefit package submitted by a plan to ensure that the package earns the premium established by the state. In assessing actuarial equivalency, the PET considers the following components of the benefit package: services covered; cost-sharing; and additional benefits offered, if any. Additional services offered by the plan will be considered a component of the plan s customized benefits and not a component of the Healthy Behaviors Program. 32. Plan Evaluation Tool: Sufficiency. In addition to meeting the actuarial equivalence test, each health plan s proposed customized benefit package must meet or exceed, and maintain, a minimum threshold of 98.5 percent. The sufficiency test provides a safeguard when plans elect to vary the amount, duration and scope of certain services. This standard is based on the target-population s historic use of the applicable Medicaid state plan services (e.g. outpatient hospital services, outpatient pharmacy prescriptions) identified by the state as sufficiency-tested benefits. Each proposed benefit plan must be evaluated against the sufficiency standard to ensure that the proposed benefits are adequate to meet the needs of 98.5 percent of enrollees. 33. Evaluation of Plan Benefits. The state will review and update the PET for assessing a plan s benefit structure to ensure actuarial equivalence and that services are sufficient to meet the needs of enrollees in the given service area. At a minimum, the state must conduct the review and update on an annual basis. The state will provide CMS with 60-days advance notice and a copy of any proposed changes to the PET.

VIII. COST-SHARING 34. Premiums and Co-Payments. The state must pre-approve all cost sharing allowed by MMA plans. Cost-sharing must be consistent with the state plan except that managed care plans may elect to assess cost-sharing that is less than what is allowed under the state plan. 35. American Indians. Indians who receive services directly by an Indian Health Care Provider (IHCP) or through referral under Purchased/Referred Care services shall not be imposed any enrollment fee, premium, or similar charge. No deduction, copayment, cost sharing or similar charges shall be imposed against any such Indian. Payments due to an IHCP or to a health care provider through referral under Purchased/Referred Care services for services provided to an eligible Indian shall not be reduced by the amount of any enrollment fee, premium, or similar charge, or any deduction, copayment, cost sharing or similar charges, that would be due from the Indian but for the prohibition on charging the Indian. IX. DELIVERY SYSTEMS 36. Health Plans. The final contracts developed to implement selective contracting by the state with any MCO, provider group, Prepaid Inpatient Health Plan (PIHP) or Prepaid Ambulatory Health Plan (PAHP) shall be subject to CMS Regional Office approval prior to implementation. The following types of entities may contract with the state to offer managed care plans under this demonstration: a. Capitated Managed Care Organization (MCO) An entity (such as Health Maintenance Organization, Accountable Care Organization, capitated Provider Service Network, or Exclusive Provider Organization) that meets the definition of MCO as described in 42 CFR 438.2, and which must conform to all of the requirements in 42 CFR 438 that apply to MCOs. b. Provider Service Network (PSN) An entity established or organized by a health care provider or group of affiliated health care providers that meet the requirements of FS 409.912. A PSN may be reimbursed on a FFS or capitated basis as specified in state statute. Capitated PSNs are categorized as MCOs, and must meet the requirements as described in 42 CFR 438. c. Prepaid Inpatient Health Plan (PIHP), Prepaid Ambulatory Health Plan (PAHP)- Entities that meet the definition or PIHP or PAHP as described in 42 CFR 438.2 and which must conform to all requirements in 42.CFR 438 that apply to PIHPs and PAHPs. 37. Eligible Plan Selection. The state will procure a specified number of plans per region in accordance with section 409.974, Florida Statutes. A minimum and maximum number of plans are specified by region, with a minimum of two plans choices in each region. Issuance and award of the procurements will provide for a choice of plans, as well as market stability. Should the state not be able contract with at least two plans in a region that is not rural, the state will issue another procurement to obtain a second plan and meet the federal Florida Managed Medical Assistance Demonstration Page 19 of 69
